Overview:

Hi! Thanks for stopping by my page! My name is Kevin, I grew up in Germany and moved to LA recently to broaden my horizon as a musician and teacher, bringing as much joy as possible to people who love music. I graduated from University of Performing Arts Munich Germany in Jazz performance, as a piano major. I had the wonderful honor of playing with a lot of amazing musicians all around Europe. My musical Journey has brought me to play at the Lincoln Center in New York City, as well as playing at the Royal Opera House in Muscat, Oman. The past years I have accumulated around 130+ concerts a year, aside of producing multiple CDs and Videos for my own projects and other artists.

EXPERIENCE
I have been teaching since I started University, about 6 years ago, both as a private teacher and also as a teacher at private schools in LA. I have had students of all ages, from kids in school to adults, all levels. I personally believe that music and practicing should be fun. Motivation is key when learning an instrument, and by exposing the student to their preferred musical style will allow them to work even harder at their skills. Secondly, my job is to hone in on their strengths and also weaknesses to bring the student to a well rounded level.
METHODS USED

It is always important to set goals in a given time, regardless of age. Typically this means a performance which the student can work towards. For beginners it is important to spark the interest in the beauty of music, which brings a natural motivation a student needs to work on his own. Basic sheet reading and developing rhythm is a must and will be focused on. It is also important to note, that these skills will be learnt by applying them to songs carefully chosen together with the student. For advanced students it is important to get a feeling individually and find their musical taste, goals, strengths and weakness to ensure an optimal learning experience.

LESSON STYLE

Being a person and friend rather than a "teacher" helps establish a nice atmosphere during the lesson, although it is important to be able to show authority as needed. First and foremost the student needs to have fun at class, otherwise he/she won't work on his/her own at home. I believe it is important to play a lot in the lesson, playing along with the student, listening to tunes, or just jamming together, all of these examples help spark creativity, which is a very important part of every musician.

Select all the days/times the student would be available to start lessons. Selecting "3pm - 7pm" means the student can start as early as 3pm or start as late as 7pm. It is important that you select as many days and the widest window of start times for each day as possible. That will help us make a match with one of our teachers.
